"There are many valuable features in this product, but probably the biggest is the customization capability it has."
"We like how Meraki Dashboard lets you manage all the devices in a single pane of glass. The dashboard is intuitive and easy to use. They are constantly updating the functionality. Switches from other vendors have the same features for the life of the device, but Meraki is always improving."
"The hardware of Meraki is very good quality."
"The feature I find most valuable is the single pane of glass where you can configure a monitor view, all from one dashboard. For example, on the wireless side, you can configure it under the configuration panel, and then view statistics like location analytics, user analytics, etc."
"The solution scales well."
"The initial setup was easy."
"Meraki Dashboard does not require a lot of maintenance. Cisco tells communicates through the Meraki Dashboard web client, it will automatically send updates to the equipment. They will send you an email on what day the updates will take place. If you want to proceed, you can click on accept, or you can decline them and schedule the updates at another time."
"There are some whitelist blacklist capabilities in the MX dashboard, which is very helpful."
"We've been spending a lot less time on tickets and deployments, so we have more time to do other things."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."

"This solution would be improved if it had the ability to retain data longer."
"Network visibility is something that needs to be improved."
"They have a new solution, ExtraHop Reveal(x), and I think it needs improvement."
"They either have to go broad or decide what their bread and butter is and get really good at that."
"I would improve the Rule-Based Access Control (RBAC) by providing granular access control to the data."
"Meraki Dashboard could improve integration with non-Cisco platforms."
"There is a bit of a problem when you try to log in and you don't have a fixed IP address. If you're granting access, you need to log in by using the IP address. If your administrator's IP address is not a fixed IP address and it has changed, you might need to update the changed IP address in the interface. For this, you need to log in to the interface to update the IP address. This issue might not have so much to do with Meraki interface."
"Something that needs to be improved, is the fact that you if you don't renew the subscription license, it stops working. I would also like to see SSL BPM support for anything else."
"I think this product could be improved with a CLI for more directives."
"It's a very complex system. Customers have told me that sometimes there are lots of advanced features that are available and that you can change in the dashboard, but sometimes it's very hard to know what they are."
"Lacks an alert notification when there are IP or DNS issues."
"The solution has a limited routing table and needs improvement by increasing the numbers as well as providing a summarization for the table."
"Meraki lacks their own software for connecting to the VPN which creates some issues."
